1st Day of Pre Op Liquid Diet- Surgery in 8 days

[Lema 236]

For me it was the Diet Mtn. Dew withdrawal. Note to self...there are a bunch of rather addictive food additives I'd rather not ever have in my system again. F*** them. I'll stick to good and natural.

I used to live on caffeine. I quit two days ahead of the surgery even though I was told to quit earlier. Now I am allowed to introduce it back but and resisting the urge. What is the point? These bad habits were what got me in this place in the first place.

English is my 6th language so forgive me if my sentences don't make any sense at times!

Your diet is so much better than mine. Mine consists of 5 Protein shakes, sf Jello and sf pops, for 2 weeks :/

I didn't get a headache till 10 day on my diet. Starting tomorrow is 1st of 3 days liquid diet..ho hum....Surgery is on Monday the 11th. I have already managed to lose 9 lbs I guess the hardest part is cooking for the family and not eating what they are eating but i'm kinda of glad i've had these 2 weeks to adjust to my new life, with each day getting a little easier.

I start my pre OP on Monday so I can use Protein shakes as a clear liquid choice.

Today is my 3rd day, I felt really weak throughout the day, I'm hoping tomorrow will be better. I'm not even hungry, just very very tired.

How are you feeling?

Doing ok. I'm on day 8. It's mostly just trying to keep food out of sight. On my second day I was so exhausted I had to take a nap in my car on my lunch hour. But since then it's been better! Hang in there

I don't know how you people manage to go through weeks of liquid diet. I was told to go on liquids two days prior to the surgery only and I don't recall being that miserable in my life. Even after the surgery was only tough because of the nausea. Day two of the liquid diet, I was so pissed off, I wouldn't even talk to anyone.

I can and I will.
